I don’t see my dancing or acting as two separate things. I don’t define them separately, so I can’t say one has helped the other, It’s all the same thing. More than anything I love being on stage and performing. – Bebe Neuwirth

The way ‘Lux’ was made is that there are 12 sections in here, though two of them are joined together.

That was the original palette. – Brian Eno
